Well done everybody, its took 263 weeks and 5 days but it happened. Yes there may be the odd missing number, a few posts more than a million and the duplicate number here and there but the main thing is it happened and its documented.
So, a billion next?
It would be nice to see just now much impact these 166 parts have taken on the forum databases, tis but only a scratch?
Every single poster in these threads should be proud as you can only count one by one!”

I was only 2 away, so close!
That was epic! Congratulations everyone for making this count so epic and awesome! Yep, we've had a few bumpy moments, but we're here.
I think DS had to update the servers a while back (used to be 3,000 posts at a time, now this thread is over 20,000?) but there will certainly be a mark left in the servers for counting threads
So, do we stop there? Do we go to the next million? Do we go to a billion? Or do we start on one of the other variants of this thread, that is in DS Chatter?

When someone says hard luck I want to punch them in the teeth but not you.

Yes, officially, Billy. Now that you 'had a go' can you tell the difference between the regulars and the nots? You could not keep up. I bet you haven't even done your edits.

Yay. Barra. Well done and a deserved winner.
For a moment there I thought that the winner would be somebody that couldn't get one bloody number right.
Respect to bcdee who not only had to get his own numbers right near the end but billy_value's too.

First, thankyou again for starting this whole crazy thing, the most lasting thing to come out of this if the friendships that been made and forged and hopefully will go on for much longer then this thread, to those of us who have been regulars, this may have started as a count but thats not how it will end....
Sorry to everyone else, i had no idea that post of my mine would be what it was, and the comments were just a general message for the finale... especially sorry to Batty !
But finally thanks to everyone who has counted from day one to this and to all the friends i have made!
Heres to the next million !!

No malice intended...being a regular I would imagine he/she would have been disappointed to miss out by a number either side.

When is the party. I've spend most of my money going to Brighton. Can't afford another trip away for a few weeks

Congratulations Barracute. Congratulations to everyone who gave this a proper go. I'm not sure what's happening with numbers, but will try to work out what should go here.
Playing Kool and the Gang right now.
